That there are valuable silver lodes
underlying the cap rock in the lime
stone range west of this city. few are
disposed to doubt in fact it may be
given as the universal belief of miners
who have visited that section and yet,
Notwithstanding the high degree OF
confidence entertained, the problem, as
to its value. in mineral point of view,
has not been determined. The diff
culties, and extraordinary expense at
tending the development ofthese claims
cannot be met by the unaided pros
pector, who, as rule, do not share, to
any considerable extent, in the aggre-
gate of the nations wealth. In view of
determining the question, as to whether
silver exists in paying quantities in the
district, Messrs. johnson, McCona and
others, who are the owners of claim in
that district, Of unusual promise, have
inaugurated plan for its development,
cooperative in its character, which
should commend itself to all who feel
an interest in the welfare of this place.
The amount which it is proposed to
raise by subscription for development
is 81 900, each subscriber being entitled
to stock in the company in proportion
to the amount subscribed, the entire
claim being transferred gratuitously to
the company by the owners; they them
selves becoming subscribers upon the
same terms as others, except that they
are to pay their subscriptions in work
upon the claim, while others pay cash.
The object in offering such favorable
terms by these men, is to have that dis
trict thoroughly prospected, that the
value of other claims owned by them
may be determined, The plan seems to
meet with general approval, and already
large proportion of the amount desired
has been subscribed.

Glad Of 1t.

The Oelrichs Times claims that we
are little off in our statement concern
ing the recent Joe Smith larceny affair,
and that the real facts are that the
property was stolen a; Buffalo Gap. Our
statement that the property was stolen
in Fall River county was based on what
we deemed reliable authority, which
has since been further strengthened by
the prisoner stating that he took the
revolver from Conger's barn in Fall
River county, believing at the time that
the revolver was the property of Conger,
who he claims owed him an amount
equivalent TO the value of the property
We do not care to discuss this matter
further, but cannot refrain from ex-
pressing our qualification at the Times
assurance that Fall River county has
not again been assigned to Custer for
judicial purposes, and it is needless to
say, we are glad Of it.

The Fence Question.

On Saturday last an order was made
by Judge Thomas in the matter of gen.
eral interest throughout the mineral
region Of the Hills. Much annoyance
has been experienced by miners and
lumbermen by reason Of parties squat.
ting IN the narrow valleys and fencing
up the level ground, forcing the road to
run over the hills, thus making the
various routes difficult and often dam
gerous. Complaint has often been
made against this, but no relief has
been had until lately. William Scott
recently built road in Rapid Valley
above town about four miles long, at a
cost of 5000, over which to haul lumber
for his contract on the big fume. A
man named Larson fenced in section
Of this road near the middle, destroying
its utility. Scott consulted G. L. Wood,
who, as court was in session, advised
injunction proceedings. An order to
show cause was made by Judge Thomas,
and on hearing being had perma-
nent injunction was issued against
Larson fencing the road. The court
held that the road was on mineral land,
and that all mineral land must be left
open for free exploration, and that any
fence or other obstruction that inter
feres with free passage over these lands
is unlawful. This will put to rest much
worry, as it settles the fence question in
the Hills.--Journal.

A Gold Mill Robbery.

The robbery of the Father De Smet
gold quartz mill in Deadwood gulch, on
the lst inst, brief account Of which
was telephoned to this Office on Tues.
day, is more fully described in the fol-
lowing account appearing in the Pioneer
Of the Ord inst:
"Some one evidently we'll acquainted
with the premises made good haul by
robbing the amalgan chest of the De
Smet mill Monday night. The chest
stood about six inches from the side
wall Of the mill, in a corner. The thief,
or thieves, procured an augur with
which holes were bored from the out
side into one of the planks forming the
wall loosening piece Of board about
foot square. Six inches from this was
another wall, also Of plank, which was
similarly treated. A large augur was
now used to gain entrance TO the chest,
which is made of two-inch lumber,
similar in make and shape to a car
penter's tool chest. In this q hole
about six inches in diameter was cut,
enabling one to reach in and with the
hand explore the inside Of the box. In
the chest was the amalg gam secured
from the plates since the last cleanup,
weighing eighty-fve pounds. This was
taken and carried off. The robbery was
not discovered until yesterday morning
when the night shift was preparing to
60 off duty. The only clue so far OBJ
tained is but slight one, still if sue
cessfully followed up, may lead to the
detection of the guilty ones. A two
horse buggy supposed to belong to the
thieves was seen standing opposite the
mill near midnight, and which shortly
afterwards passed through the toll gate
headed for this city.
AS near as can be learned the haul
netted the thieves in the neigh borhood
Of $1,000. A reward of 81 900 has been
offered for the recovery Of the amalgam
and the arrest and conviction of the
thief"
